Decide what you would do in these tricky scenarios and think about the impossible choices many homeless people face.

Resources

Pens or Pencils
A4 paper
Sticky tack
2 large buckets
A coloured ball or beanbag per person
Would you rather questions sheet

Instructions

Before you begin
Download the ‘Would you rather’ questions sheet
Make two labels with ‘A’ and ‘B’ on them. Attach these to two buckets.
Give out the balls or beanbags to the group. Each person should remember what colour theirs is.

Run the activity
1) The person leading the activity should explain to everyone that they must listen to the questions and choose one of two possible answers. Each person can answer by placing their ball or beanbag into the buckets labelled A and B. To prepare for the next question, everyone should collect their own ball or beanbag from the bucket when the whole group has answered.

2)Begin asking the trivial questions from the ‘Would you rather’ questions sheet. After each question, the person leading the activity should ask one or two players why they answered as they did. Everyone should share their own ideas about the scenario that the player(s) chose.

3)Move on to the questions related to homelessness. The person leading the activity should continue to ask one or two players why they answered as they did and prompt a debate. Use the ‘Ending homelessness key information’ factsheet to give the group more information about scenarios that come up.

4)The person leading the activity can allow the game to become a discussion of homelessness or prompt a discussion by asking the group to think about what they used to know about homelessness and what they know now.
